I am one of those that some would call a "hoarder" :D I have only sold/traded a few, the rest I am loathe to sell. Could be my obsessive-compulsive personality, the one that led me to collect 500+ Zippo lighters... Anyway, every time I see a grail and am tempted to buy (Seiko Marine Master, Orient Star 300m, Omega Speedmaster etc.) I realize that I would have to sell some in order to afford it. That stops the buying impulse. I just have to work more jobs to get the grails :shock: Cheers, Griff

If I find that I stop reachng for a particular watch, or it just doesn't "speak" to me anymore, I sell it to open up funds for new purchases. Sometimes I regret it (Doxa T-Graph Sharkie), but the majority of the time, I never look back, just forward. I've bought over 60 watches in the past 15 months. If I kept them all I'd be divorced and my wife would get half of them. By keeping the collection smaller, about 10-12 pieces, I get to stay married and they are all mineBouncy.gif

At first I never even thought about "flipping" a watch ....I thought it strange because I took my time and carefully decided on a purchase of hundreds of dollars ......then I realized I could buy more if I sold the ones I didnt wear often ...and that way I would get to own and experience more watches ....in the last 2 years, at least 150 watches went thru my hands and I only have 50 in my collection .......
